SDOT will install the first new pay stations in the Pioneer Square neighborhood in April and May 2015. SDOT will then install new pay stations throughout the rest of 2015 and 2016 in all paid parking neighborhoods. Please click here for more information.

Help customers reliably find parking within easy walking distance of their destinations, while ensuring spaces are well used

Based on City policy, SDOT’s goal is to have one to two available spaces on a block throughout the day, which translates to a target occupancy range of 70% – 85%. At that occupancy, parking is well utilized, and customers and visitors can reliably find an available space.
